ECQF GAME 2 7:14 PM - Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins - Boston leads the series 1-0 - ESPN, CBC, TVAS, NESN (New England)

[Strangle]

Back for game 2, boys

LETS GO!

 

[AvroArrow]

That's the thing - Boston choked a 3-1 lead last year. It's not impossible being down 2-0 but you'd rather avoid it.

They've also only made it past the 2nd round once in the last 10 years (including this year so far) They're not this big time playoff performing team that they were in their championship year in 2011

Pulling a page out of the Craig berube coaching manual, not very subtle about it either . Let’s see if it works out for him.

The Leafs are going to need a lot of help from the officials to win today......

Hopefully, for the Leafs sake, behind closed doors he’s telling Domi to pick his spots better, and that his 50 cent head will eventually lead to him being benched.

What he should be doing is tell them to walk the line as finely and as dirty as they possibly can, while not getting caught and ore importantly drawing up a strategy that will lead to more goals for and less goals against

 

[goldenblack]

Exactly, hes due for about 12 good games in a row lol

Or he's about to become an AHLer. Could to either way.

 

[NeelyOrr]

It took the Red Sox 86 yrs between championships. Laffs' fans just need to be more patient.

Seems strange to use the amount of times the Bruins got out of round 2 as a negative considering the amount of times the Leafs have even been in round 2 in that same period...

Ya the bruins suck

GO LEAFS GO!

I think the bruins are so the ugliest collection of men I’ve over seen in my life. What’s wrong with their faces?

You guys know what the B stands for, right? Right?

Tonight's the night a Leaf gets suspended.

technically he already was an AHLer this year so logically speaking hes obviously going to turn into Hasek.

thats how im coping

I was mostly pointing out that neither team has been successful in the last decade, it's not just the Leafs who have their struggles in that time

Leafs got spanked R1G1 last year vs Tampa and they followed it up by spanking them right back next game. Have to wonder if they have the same in store this year

 

[Canadienna]

Nylander practicing in a regular (contact) jersey, but stayed on late with the healthy scratches.

Weird.

Would obviously rather have Nylander playing

But it’s not an excuse to not spank the shit out of boston

Keefe probably loses some credibility with the refs when he complains to them even when the call is totally legitimate.

We’ll see if any of the seeds planted through the media take hold.

 

[EpochLink]

What the hell happened to Nylander? Did he sprain something?

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Can’t we go 5 minutes without Keefe complaining about the refs?

 

[NeelyOrr]

Anyone who pays 50 cents for Domi's head should get back change.

I believe he was looking too intensely at a loose puck in the corner and was mortified of going after it.

The difference is, they had 3 lines last year and an OK fourth, the goalie wasn't horrific and they had several leaders. Their third line is going to get outplayed and bullied again here, two of them are unproven NHLers right now and the other one is Noah Gregor.

They may win tonight, they may get to the 2nd round, but this team isn't a cup winning team. Nylander is a big miss, but if you can't win without one player, you don't deserve to win.

 

[crump]

Save the first shot Sammy or we are ded.

The third line is weaker when missing a top line winger yeah. But this is a 7 game series, Leafs just need a win and Nylander comes back and suddenly Boston is in trouble
